Hi,

Every two weeks, I organize a the core dev meeting so the team can sync and discuss ongoing issues. I think it's very important to get together now and then when everyone is working in a decentralized manner.

I guess I should have made posts the first two times but I wasn't sure if I should publish them here or ask for it to be published to @hiveio.

Anyways, I think it's better if we keep @hiveio for announcements instead of this kind of things.

So if you missed them:

dev meeting #1:

meeting points:

• Update on what everyone has been doing (On core subjects, work on apps is not the focus)
• Discussion on the workflow using blocktrade's post a baseline read it here if you have not @blocktrades/hive-workflow-proposal
• Roles: devs, who can review what, who can deploy what etc...
• Should we have regular scheduled deployments? Automated/manual?
• How do we prioritize issues to be dealt with first?
• Git branching strategy? Maybe a "staging" branch that gets automatically deployed to a staging website upon new merge.

Core blockchain:

• Scope of hard fork 24
• RC delegation
• RPCS, account history nodes, get_transaction op improvements
• Discuss on SMTs, it's current state and where we are going
• How can we optimize Jussi for better efficiency
  brainstorm on what's left to do on libraries

dev meeting #2:

meeting points:

• dev sync (as always)

• Hf24

• git branch naming conventions
  Discuss ongoing issues and issues that have been added recently (and close the ones that should be closed):

• Removing the active_votes field from API calls to - optimize front ends

• Auto claim rewards
  .... (more to come, we just red the current list of issues)

Dev meeting #3:

here are some of the topics we discussed:

• Tentative code freeze for hf25 on 25/05/20
• Massive optimizations coming to steemd and hivemind
• Chain id change testnet is live and all lib owner check if their libs are compatible.
• Lengthy discussion on proposals
• Discussion on apis and deprecating condenser_api
• Transferrable claimed accounts is not a good idea.

and more, this is just the gist of it.

Next one is the 18th of may, we livestream it to youtube and I read the comments made there so make sure to tune in :)
